I'm not actually blogging today. I'm preparing this (gasp!) in advance, so I can spend the day with my family and not be a distracted blogger for once. I hope you're all having a merry day yourselves!
The picture is from Mikko's first Christmas at six months. I trust Alrik, at seven months, will be enjoying his own wrapping-paper feast even as you read this.
I got you something for Christmas…
Surprise! It's some links!

How to support bloggersWant to make your favorite bloggers happy? There are many ways you can support your must-read bloggers and show you value their writing that won't cost you a penny. There are other ways that cost you some money but are cents well spent.I particularly urge you to sign up on the three linkies so I can support you: (1) blogs on Kindle so I can give you a good review, (2) WAHP businesses so I know where to shop, and (3) affiliate links so I can click through when I do my online shopping.

Merry Christmas to you and your family! I hope you have a lovely day!
P.S. thanks for stopping by today :-)
I always enjoy posts at LoveLiveGrow!
I loved the Baby's Occupy Movement photos and witty captions!
Okay... I don't know how you're writing your SS posts these days, but it says that the Liberated Family post is from 4 days ago. ha! lol
And I loved the Roller Derby pic, I saw it on FB recently.
Great stuff! Merry Christmas!
@Momma Jorje: The "X days ago" is when I posted it to tumblr, and then I'm just copying & pasting. I don't know how to make that go away without doing it by hand. I'll figure out tumblr one of these days…
Thanks for visiting to both of you, and merry Christmas!
